A zip that sticks, splits or loses its slider is one of the most common reasons a good garment gets thrown out — and one of the least necessary.
Slider first, teeth last
Nine times out of ten the teeth are fine and only the slider has worn loose. A fresh slider is a quick, inexpensive fix that brings the whole zip back to life.

Good to know
If the teeth themselves are missing or bent, the tape can usually be replaced entirely without touching the rest of the garment.
